“Many thanks to the Omaha Cricket Club for their cricket demo. I loved how the students were able to become a part of the action by playing the game, and those in the audience were excited to see their classmates learn a new sport. Best quote: Washington’s troops played cricket at Valley Forge! The kids are still talking about that one. I highly recommend a school visit by the Omaha Cricket Club, especially to reinvigorate P.E. classes with a new team sport.”

“I think it was cool, because it was a lot like baseball. I like the fact that cricket is such a high scoring game. I’d like to play over the summer, and teach the game to the kids in my neighborhood.”

“I thought the cricket match was very interesting. It was cool to see my mom and dad’s favorite sport being played at Brownell-Talbot. They grew up playing cricket their whole lives, so they are excited to see cricket become popular again.”
